They probably offered him BIG bucks to do it.

T-Mobile has Catherine Zeta-Jones, and has used Molly Shannon, Chevy Chase, Charles Barkley, Avril Lavigne, Jesse James, Phil Jackson, Whoopi Goldberg, Dana Carvey, Darrell Hammond, among several others in commercials and/or print ads.


Good point.  I thought he was doing a pretty good job in the ads, actually. 

Because he's reduced to being an ad-man for AT&T



Well it's not like he's out there hawking Activia poop catalyst, Preparation-H butt ointment, or personal hygeine spray.

Pitching cell phones is cool, even if it is ATT.  8)

Yes but like Jaime Lee Curtis, he still has taken a step down.

I thought so also. I enjoy the ads


If Jason hadn't pointed it out I would have... using celebs to hock stuff has always been big business

Jamie Lee Curtis selling yogurt that makes you poo
Eva Longoria make up
Halle Berry Revlon
Ellen Degeneres Cover Girl and Amex
Karl Malden Amex
Dennis Hayesbert selling insurance
Sam Watterson selling whatever he sells.
Sally Field selling that old lady bone stuff  ;D
Orson Wells sold wine


Hell if you pay attention to the voice overs you may be surprised at how many voices you actually recognize.

I see no need to condemn Luke Wilson cuz he's getting paid... plus he probably gets free iphones and free ATT
Justin Long claims he only gets 20% off apple products for those mac commercials but I suspect he gets more...

when Penny Marshall and Rosie O'Donnell did those kmart commercials Rosie talked about how it was embarrassing cuz Penny used to go in saying "gimme one of those and those and those" and she'd walk out with practically the whole store!  ;D

Lets also not forget

OJ was hawking rental cars for years
Charlie Sheen pitching underwear
Cuba Gooding Jr. pitching underwear (before Charlie)
Kim Alexis promoting Hemmorhid
Kathy Rigby pushing tampoons
Erin Grey representing cellulite creme

Celebrity endorsement is very lucrative work when you can get it!

Don't forget that arse Michael Jordan... I guess some people admire him  ::)  not only sold shoes and gatorade... like Cuba and Charlie he sold Hanes as well...

Jamie Lee Curtis also used to be the spokesperson for T-Mobile before they were T-Mobile.

William Shatner does Priceline.com
Star Jones did Payless Shoe Source
Michael Jordan and Cuba Gooding Jr. for Hanes

And don't forget all those Direct TV ads where the celebrities spoof roles that made them famous.
The best was Charlie Sheen for 'Major League':  "Let's see how good this bruise looks in HD"


damn Jason beat me again...  ;D

And Dr. Dre sells Dr. Pepper these days. 

I think the point was not just his (Luke Wilson) commercial,but the fact that his movie career has not been as lucrative as it was from 1997-2007.

I don't know about that... his film choices have always been all over the map... in addition to doing those "great" indie films he also did Scream 2, both Legally Blondes, both Charlie's Angels movies, an ep of X- Files, some eps of That 70s Show...

says to me he's an actor who's interested in working not the craft itself...and there is nothing wrong with that.

We have a word, it begins begins with W and rhymes with "more."

That happens to be one of my favorite words!!!  ;D


forgot to mention that Ellen Page is doing ads for Cisco (whatever they are- telemarketing or communications or something)

And Dr. Dre sells Dr. Pepper these days. 
So do Gene Simmons and his son, Nick (who, by the way, is YUMMY...if I were a few decades younger :P)

Speaking of things that start with "W" and rhyme with "more..."    ::)


Just to clarify, I'm talking about Gene Simmons.  Not his son, or MamaK!  ;D ;D ;D

Suddenly I'm hearing a reworking of  "More, More, More"


Whore, Whore, Whore
